Lost in Between
By SC
Under a starry night
by the sea
looking into shimmering waters
I am mesmerized by its colors!
Sparkling diamonds
embedded on blue mantle
emerald waves
broken by pure pearls of foam
From above a canopy of lights
covers me in wonderment
as far as my eyes could see!
“There” I am lost in between –
This expanse of waters harmony
when startled by a strange sound
and words with empty rhymes
While on a bench two lovers
were conversing instead of being
God, I wish I had a boat and leave
anchoring somewhere to be
“there” where no strange sounds
could or would distracting me
to be lost in between.

I think you have done a nice job creating the feeling, not just the image (though that was really well done too) of night over the ocean. You’ve created a “there” and a strong sense for how you would feel being in that space and through your poem I can ‘feel’ some of that too. I liked this a lot.
This is so beautifully written. You really have created a painting in my mind.
SC,
Breathtaking imagery! You describe things so colorfully and thoroughly that I felt like I was wandering through the scenery myself. And I also relate to the feeling of wanting to escape sometimes because there are times when all the noise/trappings of modern-day life take away from just enjoying what’s in front of us. Great poem overall!
